Use of discrete sensitivity analysis to transform explicit simulation codes into design optimization codes

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2000
Sensitivity analysis is often used in high fidelity numerical optimization to estimate design space derivatives efficiently. Typically, explicit codes are combined with the adjoint formulation of continuous sensitivity analysis, which requires the ...

Identifying Physical Interactions in Contact‐Based Robot Manipulation for Learning from Demonstration

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robots can learn manipulation tasks from human demonstrations. This work proposes a versatile method to identify the physical interactions that occur in a demonstration, such as sequences of different contacts and interactions with mechanical constraints.

Localized Implicit Time Stepping for the Wave Equation

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis
This work proposes a discretization of the acoustic wave equation with possibly oscillatory coefficients based on a superposition of discrete solutions to spatially localized subproblems computed with an implicit time discretization. Based on exponentially decaying entries of the global system matrices and an appropriate partition of unity, it is ...

Auto-tail dependence coefficients for stationary solutions of linear stochastic recurrence equations and for GARCH(1,1)

open access: yes, 2010
We examine the auto-dependence structure of strictly stationary solutions of linear stochastic recurrence equations and of strictly stationary GARCH(1, 1) processes from the point of view of ordinary and generalized tail dependence coefficients.

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

One dimensional parabolic free boundary problems

open access: yes, 1975
The method of lines is used to approximate explicit and implicit free boundary problems for a linear one dimensional diffusion equation with a sequence of free boundary problems for ordinary differential equations.

Topics in Numerical Computation of Compressible Flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
This thesis aims to assist the development of a multiblock implicit Navier-Stokes code for hypersonic flow applications. There are mainly three topics, which concern the understanding of basic Riemann solvers, the implementing of implicit zonal ...

Implicit Lagrange-Routh equations and Dirac reduction

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper, we make a generalization of Routh´s reduction method for Lagrangian systems with symmetry to the case where not any regularity condition is imposed on the Lagrangian.

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Construction of highly stable implicit-explicit general linear methods

open access: yes, 2015
This paper deals with the numerical solution of systems of differential equations with a stiff part and a non-stiff one, typically arising from the semi-discretization of certain partial differential equations models.
